McNair Achievement Program

The McNair Achievement Program at Purdue University Northwest is a federally-funded program of the U.S. Department of Education. We provide graduate educational opportunity for students who have traditionally not been a part of the educational mainstream of American society.

As a PNW McNair Scholar, you will become an active participant in the learning process. You will benefit from a nationwide Educational Opportunity Program Network that nurtures your academic, scholarly and career development.

Some recent Purdue University Northwest McNair Scholars have been recipients of the master, doctor of philosophy, and juris doctorate degrees from the following institutions:

University of Illinois-Chicago

IUPUI School of Law

Northwestern University

Purdue University Northwest

Loyola

University of Michigan

Duke University

Case Western Reserve University
